Flashlight BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) accreditation guarantees adherence to Indian quality and safety criteria. Based on the kind of the product, flashlights—especially LED-based ones—may need certification under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) or ISI Mark Scheme. Among the relevant Indian Standard codes are IS 13383 (for LED-based lighting) and IS 10322 (for general lighting goods). Manufacturers have to apply, turn in BIS-approved lab product test results, and go through plant inspections. The two to four month certification process guarantees product quality for the Indian market. Regulated products require BIS certification, which also has to be periodically renewed.
